6. Except every Democratic president has had to face recalcitrant Dems in Congress,

Yet many managed to flog these Dems into passing their legislation. LBJ was a master of this, FDR was even better. Even Carter had his moments. Part of the job of president is the ability to lead Congress, and one way or the other, get Congress to do what the president wants them to do. I see none of that with Obama.
